The sister-site to VikingsTerritory is PurplePTSD.com, and the guys and gals over there roll out the Minnesota Vikings analysis just as much as we do.

Here is some of their top content for the last few days:

1 – PurplePTSD examines Kirk Cousins’ trade value through the lens of The Athletic as the topic will be popular for the next couple of months.

2 – The Vikings are in an ultra-familiar spot for this time of year — cash-strapped and wondering how money for free agency will arrive. Kyle Joudry breaks it down.

3 – Minnesota could (should?) be in the market for an EDGE rusher in the 2022 NFL Draft with Everson Griffen and Danielle Hunter’s uncertainty for 2022. So, here are some ideas via the draft.

4 – PurplePTSD also has the theory of Kirk Cousins ending up back in the NFC East.

5 – Finally — and this won’t be universally accepted — here’s the theory suggesting Justin Jefferson did not get snubbed from First-Team All-Pro recognition.

Dustin Baker is a political scientist who graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2007. He hosts a podcast with Bryant McKinnie, which airs every Wednesday with Raun Sawh and Sally from Minneapolis. His Viking fandom dates back to 1996. Listed guilty pleasures: Peanut Butter Ice Cream, ‘The Sopranos,’ and The Doors (the band).
